ohh ok
did you not read my last message?
i had 2 or 3 disconnects within the span of 15 minutes and decided to stop playing
didnt see this mb
no problem
no
i don't think ill be in one either, i need to sleep
Anyone wanna game?
Yep
There's a rando here
(and he doesn't play that well, so I'm going easy on him)
He left apparently
Found ya!

This is my last game because I have to go to study
Oh ok

Ooo, hello rando

Also GTG thanks for the games guys
np man peace
Have a good sleep
Seems like I missed a good session
I'll be down to play again in an hour or two
Hell yeah
who wanna join
Sure lemme set up my console p
yeah 
me :D
mfw you took 45 minutes
i got my wii u today chill
and i spent a lot of time setting everything up
and waiting for mario kart 8 updates
anyways you are so late that i will go do some 1v1s with french person
oke
I ended up going to the store and completely forgetting
Anyone wanna play?
for a bit
I'm in a gathering
150cc
I g2g relatively soon tho
so only a couple games
@sacred stirrup
if you're still around
Who wants to play Mario kart 8?
Do you mind if I join after my dinner? It's gonna be like 30 minutes, sorry. 
I g2g soon, but I'll be back in a couple hours
Anyone wanna play
Me
Oke
Yeah
Why is no one playing mario kart
Yeah i left :P
My eepynees won
When is the best time to play? I can't find anyone
I can't even connect
If there isn't enough players, wouldn't it be easier to make a group and race against bots
If anyone wants to join, I'm in a server with another player.
anyone wanna play rn?
@real latch you still up for it?
yeah we were playing
now I'm all alone
everyone left or got dc'd
that mute city race was pretty good
been playing global, but something just came up
I'll be back in an hour or so if it's not too late for you
I don't mind, just @ me when you're free. ๐
I'd imagine MK8'd be quite active, cuz MK8DX is offline. Unless people are playing other Switch games.
The highest amount I've gotten is in a lobby is 6 people
hey, I'm up
@real latch Global or private bot lobby?
I'll join you rn
nice
SO CLOSE ๐ญ
oh you left?
I have no clue, I just got pretendo yesterday
I'll restart too
back, in a gathering
it says there are two
dunno how to join you
instead of making a new one
aw
it froze again
server must be having issues
yesterday it was fine
let's try some other time
ok, but I dunno how it works
do we need to be friends?
I dunno how to accept friend requests via the emulator
Its the same as nnid, I had a friend request from someone called Andreas
I'll try to figure it out later
No worries, I'll be here to help
anyone on?
Anyone wanna play?
im waiting worldwide no dlc
Alrighty, gimmie a few minutes cause I just woke up
Im ready now
Gimmie a second
Private or global?
We play for pretendo Network?
Ye
It doesn't connect me
Does it let you use the online?
It gives me an error
Miiverse loads me, but neither the friends list nor Mario kart
I mean like, what's the error code?
My error is: 101-0105
Support code detected, press to expand information
Try closing the game then reconneting
Okay
You there?
Do you think that when the servers close there will be people in pretendo?
Yep
Let's play in a room
Support code detected, press to expand information
Scratch that, some IRL stuff came up
I get an error when entering the friends list xd
Today I put the square wara wara, I don't know if that is what is causing me errors
I have aroma
Right now I had entered the friends list, but sometimes it fails, or it could be because Network is unstable
anyone up?
im on worldwide if anyone wants to connect
Anyone up on worldwide?

Hello, does it allow you to enter the friends list?
i feel like the council is about to decide my fate
8 now
i didn't know that you could already play mk8 online, every time i tryed to join it just errored
like there was no one
im in there now and theres no one here
didin't think i would actually use this strat on a recent wii u race i played.
but.. uh. i somehow did it.
and then won.
Someone for playing?
That's just creepy looking
And I can't believe it's 2024 and the issue where miis look darker in mk8 lobby still hasn't been fixed
doesn't help that they have no face
I do this, it's definitely worth
I didn't mention that, but I also think that's creepy as well, at least citra actually renders the mii faces correctly if you have the right files

sup all
does it usually take a long time to connect to online?
oh it says iโm unable to
hm
Sooo does pretendo work on mk8 version 4.2?
Yay it does
CAN WE STILL JOIN ROOMS????
Idk, but I ain't leaving this one I'm in until it kicks me out
my mk8 is taking a while to connect
This one I'm in has people leaving...and not coming back
I think it's starting for Europe
Support code detected, press to expand information
bruh
my wifi is good
why aint it connecting for me
aight so
it connected
but Im in a lobby
with me
People are leaving and no-one is coming into it
thats crazy
wait people are still going
It kicked me off at around 8PM CDT. Itโs been an honor playing until the end.
holy shit I finally got in a pretendo match after all these years

hi
Hi
Hi
Are you on WW?
WW DLCใNow
Anyone playin? ๐ฎ
THANKS TO WHOEVER PLAYED IN THE LAST DAY IN NN. IT WAS FUN :(
hi
Hi
WW DLC now
I would if I wasn't busy AF with a bunch of life and creative things
Do we still need the pretendo rce patches since Nintendo patched it themselves
It is still advisable to use them, but if you want you can uninstall them
Nintendo rolled out a 7mb patch for mk8 and splatoon last summer. Mk8 now being version 4.2
Or turn them off
people already know micheal
That is what I expected๐
like rn?
I'm playing 8 deluxe rn
But I could hop on 8 later
you playing on ryujinx or switch?
Sw
ah ok
anyone else here using cemu? was playing fine about two hours ago but now it infinitely loads when trying to connect
same with splat
ngl don't use cemu really i mainly run everything on the wii u
Pn server overload?
idk if its just server instability that was stated in announcements but I see others playing on https://mario-kart-8.pretendo.network/gatherings
Pretendo Mario Kart 8 website
maybe so
My game loaded for 3 minutes then errored out
oh damn
Was fine after a reboot
no luck for me
And I also sent you a frq
Yeah as you can see
well I'll get round to accepting that whenever I can lol
Myabe redump the game
doesnt wanna connect to anything
Also whats the point of emulating if you have the real hardware
wont be the game, its the pretendo service itself
ease of access plus I can play in any resolution
Right I wonder what mk8 look like in 4k
What u got a frkn 4090๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ
nah you can see my specs in server bio
Emulating mk8 isn't that bad
its great actually
I do it bc my gamepad stick broke
been doing it for almost 5 years
What sooo wii u emulating is less intense than wii? How
wii u emulating doesnt actually require alot
@tulip pelican whats your pnid
I tried wii enulating on a snapdragon 8gen1... it sucks
I heard dolphin ios can emulate the wii in 4k on iphone 15 pro max
Playing mk8 wws
With or without dlc pack
Check this out
Modded mkwii emulation on dolphin
I tried nfs undercover maybe that doesn't work properly
We still can't change out account information? 120-9023
if you wanna
idk i was just going around sending friend requests cuz i wanted to fill up my friends list
k
You can add me if you want to
did the same on NNID ๐ง
I have 1 Friend
Yup
On nnid in 2015-6 i got many Minecraft Friend tbh
Never Seen one of them back
๐คก
Long Time i didn't got crash
Biiiiiiip
could you connect to mk8 , for me its loading infinitly
im not able to aswell.
Restart wii u
Yes i Can connect to pretendo on mk8 only
Cemu seems to be broken rn
Playing ctgp 7 rn
Wait wait
The service
MK8 is having problems?
im on console.
already tried that .
Which inkay version are you on
its the friend server. specially with how much people is currently online
And plus Jon tested changes too right
yeah...
Lemme hop on see if I have any luck
I go Ctgp 7 bye
Anyone having issues with mk8 check if you have inkay version 2.3
Home menu press L, โฌ๏ธ and -
what about cemu?
@thin echo said it loads infinitely
yeah that's what's happening, splat and mk8 ๐
i hope so!
forgot what i said , my wiiu is dead since a few months so im playing with cemu so no inkay i think
I mean me too, it just surprised me lol
yes , do you dont looked at the discord server here last night ? it was exploded
Propably... pretendo blew up on twitter
being able to play online on my steam deck is great, I really hope a 3ds emulator picks up pretendo sometimes soon as well
i guess that would be kind of difficult with how the friends list works i just realized :/
oh my god??
where do you see those stats?
Pretendo Mario Kart 8 website
i would love to join. but im currently dealing with the friend server problems
i'm guessing there isn't one for splat?
Never seen a full/near full lobby on Pretendo yet, now I have
ah thats what it is then
Lemme guess many new users?
yeah i've been unable to do any online stuff since this morning, considering seeing if i have to redump my pnid
yup. and jon testing out changes to the server too.
Yeah the friend list if a bit iffy friends disappear then reappear after reboot
I asked for your pnid earlier
okay the friend server is definitly going crazy:

Do you have all the dlc?
Okay
I can't join
Create yourself
Ok try
Do you have the latest version of inkay?
Lemme guess its erroring out
If 2.3 is the latest then yes
i do
No I have 2.3
let me restart the game
But 2.4 released today?
The version they released yesterday was 2.4
Create a new room
Bruh
Let's play regionally, are you from America?
Nope
Can you try to create a room
is this a good text edit?
i set it up a few months before the server shutdown
but it was just incase whenever it happens
looks good
How did you get yours to say pretendo network
i edited the text file that contains it
101-0502 FUCK YOU ERROR
Support code detected, press to expand information
How did you do this
Anyone tryna hop on right now
dont wanna get on unless people are on
nevermind people are on!!
Thereโs a new king in town lil bro @limber rose
Sorry for ghost ping btw
Wanted to post it in the right place
-oop
I think I one-shot a lot of the time trials I submitted to pretendo lol
I dont expect them to be hard to beat
Iโm really rusty on SSC so it took me like 10 minutes โ ๏ธ
Definitely need to go for sub 1:51
Gonna do that on my nnid though
@limber rose can you hop in mk8 vc rn?
nice!
Thanks
Iโll be tting while in mk8 vc if anyone wants to tt with me
I can give tips to help improve on a specific track if anyone needs that
Probably wont be able to do stuff here for a while, just been really busy lately.
i wanna improve my times but i cant upload any of them โ ๏ธ
Damn
Do you get an error?
I want to get back into things at some point, though. Love 8U and I want to be active
yeah, 106-0526

I think my most competitive time I have on the boards is neo bowser or royal raceway
What are the times
I get a error when I try to upload but I still get to post lol
Pretendo Mario Kart 8 website
Pretendo Mario Kart 8 website
Cool to see the records working on here
they weren't last time I checked a couple months back
YO 40 PLAYERS STILL??
some of them dont show up for some reason
Oh? ๐ค
Can you check for mine on Sweet Sweet Canyon @clever beacon
I wonder if it doesn't update with the most recent times until later..?
Like it's a delayed update or something
its not on the website, but i can see it in game
I see your 1:57.297
What is the time
I have a 1:52.192 right now
thats the time i see
not rn sorry
Damn
i didn't realize djthed was on this server
There is a lot of lag
Because some shitty cemu player is using high fps on their end I think
funny enough my last race was actually affected by this in NN
Lmao
Ainโt no one need high fps for fucking Mario kart
oh fuck the DLC lobbies are full
Iโm about to hop on wws
looks great!
would be nice to implement this mysellf
it isnt due to high fps. mk8 physics are tied to frame rate so any cemu player who has an underpowered pc or is compiling shaders will cause slow down for the whole lobby
Well cemu should just not allow them to play if they try so at certain configurarions
Run tests or whtvr, in case they don't know
playing mk8 rn
i mean tbh I agree, its super annoying
Add me
hi
Can i get it ?
planning on doing the same for splatoon
and friend list
fuck
Hi @vapid prawn
hi
Iโm in you worldwide I believe
Me too
How come you have US flag?
Yes
The default address was in the US.
I tried to change my nationality, but for some reason I couldn't.
It's because if you have American Wii U you can only change to American countries
I tried to set it up from the network id place and got an error...
By the way, my friend's console was also in the US region by default, although the language was Japanese...

Maybe this can help
Idk
It's Japan to usa but maybe it can work reverse
Thus tutorial is kinda outdated I believe
ok...
Just look around the internet I guess
I'm going to take a bath soon.
Ok!
@smoky oyster you weren't online for over a month everything alright?
Did anyone test Mk8 online with pretendo today or yesterday? Can public matches be found?
They've been working great for me last night
Public yes but friend rooms seem to be not working
Well have no problem, since none of my friends have a Wii U ๐ญ
Anyone wanna try a friend room?
Yeah I don't think I remember friend rooms ever really working well
They forked last year in april or so
Maybe they did work at some point, but even half a year back I tried it and didn't work then
Do you have spare time?
Hollup are we all playing on version 4.2?
Yes, a little obvious because if you have other versions it wouldn't let you play online
Maybe its the pretendo rce patches interfering with the nintendo ones
Yep lemme add you rq
Ye
Alright
I mean who doesn't
I donโt really care anyways
It doesn't work btw
Can't join
Nope
You hop on imma join
Ok
Mk8U is way more chill than 8 deluxe
I'm europe germany
But every id shows us anyways lmao
Fire Hopping and Demon Sliding 
Love it
Sweaty japanese players
I never managed to learn Demon Sliding lol
It's really easy
Only fire Hopping
I learned on pro controller first then on Wii Wheel which I main
Idk
Teach me please 
Tf is deamon sliding
Iโm spectating rn
Wii Mote player?!!?! You must be too pro
Nvm it worked maybe the lobby was full
Lobby is full
Ay we're in
LMAo we're in
I remind you that this page exists https://mario-kart-8.pretendo.network/gatherings
Pretendo Mario Kart 8 website
Hey
I'm alright
I got Pretendo WR on Sweet Sweet Canyon right now
Heck I got mario karted many times
I'm still working on handling Wii Wheel better so some tracks are hard
Damn
Normal in game
I somehow managed to survive that in 8 deluxe today I hade a huge lead somehow
I might join back in a bit
Yeah ping me if you want
Right now there are active WWs with and without dlc
hi
When will we be able to ghange our personal information in our accounts without donating or subscribing
You cant even change them when you are subscribing
Oh wow but how did other people manage to get like uk region
Pretendo Mario Kart 8 website
it only exists for MK8 atm
Ok
In ww
i literally only earned 1 PLUS VR because of everyone's VR being 1000 LMFAOOO
Iโm in your worldwide @humble sage
It happened to me yesterday xd
Hi
does anybody have a fix for cemu getting stuck at 'Connecting to Nintendo Network'?
022-032
hey guys 
Someone for playing?
And I had a 93000vr on switch who sucked
pnid FadyZekdink๐
how on earth are you still on
PNID:
243571
I'm rather new to MK8 so I may not be too good lol.
Hi @clever beacon
hi!
I see you in my lobby, lol
Iโm going to eat a slice of pizza now so Iโll friend you and join back after
6 coins in a row in first ๐
alright
Someone join Battles cmon
I try to waste my coin like, a second or two before I run into a box to lower the probability of getting a coin
Pretty sure item system works like that
@limber rose Hello!
Bruhhh
You're so lucky ๐ญ
@clever beacon mk8 vc?
cant vc
Oof
@clever beacon Your Thwomp Ruins lines were pretty alright btw
Just need to take the anti-grav wall tighter for a smt
Holy shit I got fucking abused
Every single red hit me in the front
Did they go past you, then snap back towards you from the front?
Yeah
You on Cemu?
No
Huh
Original Hardware
Can you still not vc btw?
For now, no
Online is kinda laggy too
Yeah
Only sometimes though
Lag happens a lot during the countdown which screws me up
Hi 
Nah it's fine imo
Sometimes when i see someone else using the flag i think it's the argentina flag too ๐
Haha
3rd place
Yo
Cool
Nice
Yei
Probably wiimote dpad
oooh
Switching between tilt controls and d-pad mid-match would be hard anyways
I've been practicing my Demon slides for a while now and theyโre practically exact to the regular demon slides
Because of tilt controls utโs easier to do sloppy slides then demon slides
They both provide the same benefits but demon slides look better
If you watch my Sweet Sweet Canyon PB you can see it looks like regular demon slides
gonna go for now, ggs!
You fucked me up so bad
I'm so sorry man
I thought you had another item though
No
Congrats
Didnโt know that was you
Lol
I'm going to leave to check if I unlocked the slicks yet
Honestly i thought that was a different person
Alright
I Should change the name of my Mii...
Fuck this game man
Got this stupid ass tri-speeder
Just give me my fucking slicks
I already got 1000 on my Pretendo account, LMAO
My โUsed Tilt-Controlsโ rating is 100, lmao
Not that Iโm surprised
I think when I was grinding coins on my pretendo account slicks were something I got really late too
I don't recall if they are random or not
But I feel that
Itโs all random
I did two 4 race gps on baby park only
The coins you collect after max still count btw
For your total on the main menu stats
mfw iโm not getting much VR because the gap between me and everyone else is too large
guess not everyone transferred their save data to their pretendo acc
There's a lot of new players because of the Nintendo network shutdown
yeah
I have been playing this game for months and i don't even care, this online is miles better than 8 deluxe online ๐ญ ๐ญ
It is a price we must pay to have better Matchmaking
honestly it doesnโt matter much but itโs funny
It's taking so long to start
I got fucked that race
oh youโre in my lobby lol
Maybe a cemu user
Did me wrong @limber rose
for once didnโt get sniped by every red
?
No ghost hit from back trails, no double item chaos... It's nice in 8U
Not to mention I like the driving in 8U better too 
You held a backtrail banana in my line, using the horn was my only way through LOL
I canโt be guaranteed defense in second pocket ๐
This online delay from this service is terrible though
Delay from what?
I like the Wii item system more than the 8dx double item, I don't know why Nintendo decided to only have 1 item in mk8u.
This game makes me want to cry myself to sleep
Players appearing out of nowhere, my items not hitting
bruh thereโs no way this guy was just barely out of the range of my super horn
Wii without thundercloud I can agree is probably the best, including Wii's item behavor vs 8's
because WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE INVINCIBLITY FRAMES?!
Delay is probably not the right word for that
But yes
I GOT FUCKING COMBOโD BY 8 FUCKING ITEMS
Yea now that i think about it you're right
Hit registration is on the client side of whoever is being hit, rather than the person throwing the item
I thought it was thrower
you have to play it like online Wii, where you have to sorta lead your shots on where you expect them to be on their screen, not where they are on your scren
sheesh
Oh my god this was scary as fuck
damn lightning
You can't get hit with an item unless you get hit with it on your screen
on 8DX, items can hit you if you get hit on your screen OR your opponents creen
That's fucking stupid
I got a green in 7th place lol
mk8 moment
I got singular red shells back to back
Geez i wonder who threw you that
in 6th
better but not by much
oh long start again
bruh everyone got reds at the end
Who's able to hop in mk8 vc rn
true!
I could but on mute
except iโm not even that lucky cuz iโm getting all the bloopers and green shells ๐
Thank you for choosing a track I can play ๐๐ฝ @limber rose
in low positions
@forest sonnet can you vc?
Nice
I got my 2nd bad placement
aaa got my item box stolen lol
Fuck
God, I'm getting such bad objects.
Iโll be in mk8 vc if anyone wanna join even if muted
This game not having the boo item should be a crime
Ok
i hope they improve the traffic soon so that more people can get on easily, cemu has trouble connecting to friend service
i wonder if beta testers can bypass the traffic
People canโt even join my friend rooms
Hello
NOW Iโm gonna check
2nd place
That was rough
I hate cows

The cows are cute though
Yes but when you collide with one you only hate them
A SHOCK IN 4TH PLACE ๐
Iโm going to check for The slick tires after every four races
I have to sing Happy Birthday real quick
The item wheel is broken in MK8 compared to MK8D
honestly. i didin't even know it was possible
I got a super star in 3rd place lmao
Well MK8DX and MK8 both the same way where items you get are based from your distance from first place
MK8DX just has a different distribution of items with different distances
Conclusion of the day, I am surprised that Mk8 on the pretendo network is very active, The minimum number of people I saw between yesterday and today was 18
It's due to the Nintendo Network shutdown
More and more people are going to start using Pretendo servers as an alternative
In addition to that, the fact setting up Pretendo Online is as simple as typing in a DNS number will encourage more people to use Pretendo due to the simplicity of setting it up.
True
Pretendo blew up on twitter thats why many people are using it
And yes I call it twitter cause idgaf what elon musk changes the name to
I only use X just to get to Twitter faster on pc other than that I only say Twitter lol
It will always be twitter
@solemn saffron @ashen ruin @frank oriole
hi
Excitebike Arena is so boring
You cemu players need to stop using high resolution textures and high fps in a damn racing game
nah they just need better pcs lol
BOOM SHOCK DODGE
Isn't physics tied to framerate in this game
Idk, just whatever cause us Wii U players framerate loss needs to stop ๐
I thought i was the only one suffering from this lol
@bold delta I don't want to disturb but does the custom search tool work like specific items and (or) 200cc?
we can do 200cc tournaments tho
So it doesn't work
Yo @clever beacon
i forgot how to do the nisc ๐ฎโ๐จ
Lmao
Worst repick ever
Should've went for nisc
I didn't go for it L1 & L2 because I messed up the alignment
Only got it L3
i probably would have messed it up
not consistent with it
Easiest way to get the smt is to bump into the rock at the corner and then fire hop hop through
It's a lot harder to pull off in MK8U because of itโs meta I believe
Btw, if you ever want to counter pick against me for whatever reason Iโm pretty bad at Donut Plains
Join vc? @clever beacon
I got dc
Fuck this game man
rip, i saw you teleporting everywhere at the end lol
